The Bryant Shakespeare.

Miss M. Lyon is now canvassing this city and vicinity for purchasers of the splendid Bryant edition of the works of Shakespeare. There is always demand for fine editions of Shakespeare, and this edition needs but to be seen to be admired and appreciated. MT. Bryant did his work with great care. In his preface he said: s'Every line and every word passed under my eyes, and were duly consid- cred and weighed by me-" The plan adopted by him was to give critically revised render fngs of all words and passages of obscure or doubtful meaning and to have them appear as foot-notes at the bottom of each page
 Having made sure of a scholarly rendition of the text the publishers turned their attention to the art features of the work. Tn ey se- cured the services of Mir. Alonzo Chappell and MT. F. o. 0. Darley, and the result of their: labors appears in one hundred striking and original pictures, alone well worth the entire cost of the work, which any lover of literature and art might be proud to possess

srect-NIinded Women.

So great is the influence of a sweet
minded woman on those around her
that il is almost bOundless.
It is to her that friends como in
seasons Of sorrow and sickness for help
and comfort. One smoothing touch OF
her kindly hands works wonders in the
feverish child; n few words let fall
from her lips in the ear Of a sorrowing
sister do much to raise the load OF grief
that is howing its victim down to the
dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out
with the pressure Of business. and feel
ing irritable with the world in general,
but when hs enters the coy sittiL &
room and sees the blaze Of the bright
fire and meets his wife's smiling face, he
succumbs in a moment to the soothing
influences, which act as the balm Of
GiIead to his wounded spirit.
The rough schoollcv flies in rsga from
the tauuts of his com aniOns to find
solace IN his mothers smile; the little
one, full of grief with its own large
trouble. finds a haven OF rest in its
mothers breast; Gnd 80 one might 50
on with instances OF the Influences that
a sweet-miHded woman has in the social
life with which she is connected.
Beauty Is an Insignificant power wheD
compared With hers.

Tho Art Of Conversation.

The art of agreeable conversation is
one all men admire, and most men are
anxious to learn There are few sub
iects upon which yOung people oftener
seek advice from those whose greater
experience enables them to give wise
counsel. It is frequently said of many
kinds Of teaching that example is better
than precept, but this is not so in re-
gard to the art Of conversation. You
may hear a man talk with wonderful
brilliancy, and yet talk no better your
self than you did before.
You must have rules to observe rather
than persons to initiate.
Boswell accounts for the extraordinary
accuracy and flow of language Of DR..
Johnson by saying that che had early
laid it down as a fixed rule to do his best
on every occasion, and in every COM
pany; to impart whatever he knew in
the most forcible language he could
put it in; and that, by constant practice,
and never suffering any careless express
sions to escape him, or attempting to
deliver his thoughts without arranging
them in the clearest manner, it became
habitual to him."
The course which was pursued by so
eminent a scholar, whose conversational
powers alone sufficed to make him Cele-
brated, may well be followed by the youth
of our day who want to learn the much
coveted art of conversation.-INe York
Ledger.
